    In this sad world of ours.
    Sorrow comes to all.
    It comes with bitterest agony.
    Perfect relief is not possible.
    Except with time.
    You can not now realize that you will ever feel better.
    Is not this so?
    And yet it is a mistake.
    You are sure to be happy again.
    To know this, which is certainly true.
    Will make you some less miserable now.
    I have had experience enough to know what I say.

    I'm very touched by your loss. I have a daughter and a granddaughter and the thought of loosing one or both is deeply saddening.

    I've lost two very close friends and one co-worker in this way the first when we were only in jr high it will never make sense but it will get easier with time. The grief of losing a friend has no comparison to a losing a child I know there are no words that can console you and your wife now so please accept my condolences and know we are all praying for you and your family.

    All I have been able to think about since yesterday has been your loss. I have said multiple prayers for God to ease your grief. I ever shed tears while praying, which I haven't done in years. I have heard loosing a child is the hardest thing a parent could go through. I have a 29 year old son and a 6 year old granddaughter. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know she is in Jesus's hands and a much better place.Multiple people are praying for you.

    Be Blessed,
    Greg

    Beautiful young woman !

    It's been said before but a parent should not have to bury their child. It was the hardest thing that I've ever done.
    I've been a cop for 25 years. Been through LOTS of bad shtuff. Officer involved shooting, infant deaths, the works.
    NOTHING is like having it be YOUR child.

    I feel your pain brother and I'm praying for you!

    Mr. Fowler:

    I know you from the club at Effingham. While I’m not all that socially intuitive it was obvious to me you are one of the good people we all share this world with. Simple fact that you are a good person will make this loss hard on you and your family. I’ll convey the standard sorry for your loss. All the while knowing you’ll feel that loss for the rest of your life. Pain will dull. Feeling of loss will generally stay with us. After all there is an empty place in our lives that can’t be replaced. So don’t try to replace that love. Remember the love not the loss. As long as we are loved we are not lost.

    When I was your daughters age I’d sometime dip into a depression. Nothing at all to cause it as I was healthy and well. But of course I thought life was tough and I though I carried some guilt. Fact is I was still a kid who didn’t know doodle squat. Then one night one of my childhood friends from next door committed suicide when I happened to be visiting my parents. Phone rang and we were called “we need help”. Father and I ran across the street into the house not having a clue what had happened. Entering the home I heard Tom’s mother crying in a back bedroom. As I walked down the hall a glance to the right reveled his then dead body. Tom had been section 8 discharged from the US army in the early 1970’s. The world around us back then was a lot to deal with coming from a one horse town in the middle of corn fields. After that night I never again considered suicide as an option. Still carry the image of him laying there. In high detail. Not long after that I actually started to enjoy life. No problems we all face seamed so all devastating anymore. Our life is a so fragile while precious thing. That’s what Tom Harpers death taught me. A few of my old classmates and friends checked out using automobiles. Back before we were 21 years old. Kevin Shackles and Tony Tucker. Run the Vet or Harley up over 140 mph then aim for a pole or high side a curve and it’s guaranteed to work. Suicide by firearm always bothered me more. Probably because the suicides by car always involved large quantities of alcohol ahead of incident. But in finality it don’t mean nothing. Every life born to this world comes to an end. I do not believe in pre ordained destiny. However most of what happens during our lives is totally out of our control. Including the day we pass on. To state the obvious.

    Peace be with you.

    I have thought on this, especially as my gf has Asperger's. The fine folk here have already said everything I could ever say, and often better than I could say it.

    A prayer said for you and yours.

    Praying for you and your family. It is always tough when someone dies before their time. I'm glad you can share it with us so we can pray for you.
